I’m
Carina Shockley and I am 21 years old. Recently, I’ve had the privilege of
being an intern with the worship department at 7 Hills Church. This experience
has been such an honor and joy in every aspect as I have grown closer to such
an incredible worship team and most importantly a powerful and personal Savior!
My goal is to inform people about the excitement that bubbles to the surface
when serving in such a dynamic environment.
My
background: I began leading worship in eighth grade in the middle school
ministry of 7 Hills Church. All throughout high school I continued to lead in
several capacities in the life of my church. Immediately after graduating high
school I applied to and attended Northern Kentucky University, with a degree in
Elementary Education. While in college, I volunteered leading the Children’s
Worship Ministry at 7 Hills Church and then transitioned to the Main Worship
Team, where I soon became a worship intern. Going through the Summit classes
and watching 7 Hills Church grow in the last few years has been such an honor
to experience. There is a movement of God occurring here that’s so strong that
it can only be described as supernatural. After graduating from NKU in May
2011, God opened up a door for a fourth grade elementary teaching position at a
school in Campbell County. Although I was quite astonished at this incredible opportunity, I quickly accepted and now look forward to imparting love and
compassion to my students within my teaching career.
I
would hate for this experience to pass me by without taking time to reflect,
and allow you all to participate with me in this journey. Therefore, it is essential that you understand how much of a blessing it is to serve in
any ministry here at 7 Hills Church. These are the people who you can do
life with. We support each other, grow together, and most importantly
we live a life that is dedicated to serving God’s Kingdom.
We
are blessed to be a blessing to those around us!
Looking
forward to many more years serving at 7 Hills Church in the worship ministry!
Blessings,
Carina
